FOREIGN EVENTS.

SARAH BERNnARDT, who arrived at
Queenstown recently in the steamer City
of Richmond from New Y ork, was sick on
and off during the entire voyage, and was
compelled to keep her state room most Of
the time. severe storm occurred on the
fourth day out from New York, and
two members of Bernharlt's troupe were
injured.
THE most violent earthquake experienced
in Mexico since 1868 occurred the other
day, causing great alarm among the peo-
pie. The shock lasted two minutes and
twenty seconds, and the direction of the
movement was from northwest to south
west. All the clocks in the city of Guaya-
quil were stopped at the movement Of the
shock. A number of ceilings were shaken
down and several buildings demoli she'd.
As far as reported no one was injured. 1t
is feared that the shock must have caused
much damag, in cities in the interior.
THERE is good-sizei sensation on the
diplomatic horizon OF London. The Echo
has made savage attack on Minister
Phelps for bis failure to properly intro
duce Mr.. Blaine to the British ministry. 1t
says, among other things, that on account
of the petty ference OF politics between
the incumle ent administration as repre-
sented by Mr.. Phelps, of the United States,
and the distinguished American statesman,
the Gladstone Of the western continent,
Mr.. Blaine, who should have long before
this have met the queen, the former is inn
INJURED in London; unknown and unrecog-
nized as the veriest Amer can g ranger.
The Echo, after dwelling further upon the
inability of Lord Salisbury-owing to the
diplomatic delicacies Of the stuation-to
extend any invitation fo- meeting with
Mr.. Blaine, demands that Mr.. Phelps set
aside his prejudice and extend to Mr..
Blaine the formal opportunity for an intro
duction to both the m nistry and royalty.
In consequence Of the action Of the
mayor OF Corx hosting black flag on the
occasion OF the Queens jubilee, and be-
cause of his having shown favor 10 the ma
tionalst, Plunkett, the divisional mngis-
trata, superseded him, and ordered that
only the resident paid magistrate should try
prisoners.
THE Russian force has arrived at Kara
tiqui. The supposed destination of the

I'm THE WEST.

A MOST shocking and terrible tragedy
occurred at Belmond, Iowa, recently.
Mrs. A. l.. Tracey, wife Of one of the
most prominent citizens Of that city, COM
mitted suicide while laboring under tenn
porary alteration of the mind produced by
years of sickness and suffering from
bodily ailments. About midnight she
arose from her bed and procuring a razor,
cut her throat. To make assurance doubly
sure, however, the demented woman made
her way TO the residence of her nearest
neighbor, a Mr.. Oscar Lathrop, and
jumped head first into "a barr / full of rain
water that stood outside the house, where
she was found the following morning. The
sadness Of the terrible affair is intensified
by the high respectability and prominence
of the family, one Of the sons, L. b.
Tracey, being deputy county treasurer, and
another, .. &. Tracey, cashier in the
Belmond bank.
ADvICEs from Story county, Iowa, state
that the county is overrun by chinch bugs.
The wheat crop is irretrievably ruined, oats
are beginning to suffer and corn will un-
doubtedly go. The county is badly Grip
pied and farmers are in despair.
Two men named p. Urness and Halver
were killed by lightning at Twin Valley,
Minn., recently. Urness had a brother at
Moorhead and Halvers relatives are at
Lake Point. Both were unmarried.
IT is rumored that the Chicago anarchists
will have a new trial.
A FARGO, d. T., special says that until
the past two or three weeks the prospect
for all crops, especially wheat, in the Red
River valley, was considered better than
usual, but hot winds and dry weat her have
seriously changed the situation. Cass
County usually produces from 5,000,000 to
100000 bushels of wheat. Recent rains
are doing some good, but the early wheat
is all stunted and is heading out low. At
best the country can not produce half a
crop. The Oldest farmers say they have
never seen so poor an outlook for all kinds
of crops in this Sc ction. The same causes
have operated extensively in North Da-
ko,a, although some localities have had
heavy rains, but the wheat crop of Dakota
will be many million bushels less than the
crop reports heretofore sent out have esti-
mated ii.
GREAT preparations are beng made for
the races which will take place in Sioux
City, Ia, July IL to IA inclusive. They
will be the finest ever had in the North
west. 1t will be the fastest field, most
spirited running. trotting and chariot races
ever witnessed in Iowa. The fastest horses
in the country will participate, and thous-
ands OF people will be present. Sioux City
is arranging for the handsome entertain
ment of all guests.
THREE Albert Lea, Mimi, doctors per-
formed the very rare operation of remov-
ing the gall bladder, which contained six
teen stones, from Mrs. !. c. Lewis, aged
80 years. But few operations of the kind
are on record as having been performed in
the world, and only two previously in the
United States. The patient is now doing
finely.

ton closes with these words: HE came
